Compatible applications

Engineered for DE (diatomaceous earth) and sand filter configurations that use a multiport valve. Before purchasing, confirm your filter’s valve size and connection type to ensure 2-inch compatibility.

Installation steps

1. Ensure the multiport valve is compatible with your pool filter.
2. Turn off the pump and drain the system to prevent leaks.
3. Remove the old valve by disconnecting the plumbing lines and unscrewing the unions attaching the valve to the filter.
4. Install the new valve by securing it to the filter, reconnecting the plumbing, and tightening all connections.
5. Test the system: turn the pump back on, check for leaks, and verify the valve operates correctly across all settings.

Post-installation care

After installation, monitor for any leaks around unions and fittings during the first few filtration cycles. Periodically inspect valve seals and gaskets and replace them as needed to maintain a tight seal and smooth operation.
